WEDDING BY THE BEACH

I actually think I could have gone unnoticed with my D4s mounted with a 70-200mm by my side if it hadn’t been for my little girl Rose.Why ? Because I am discrete of course and when I saw that a couple of photographers or friends were already taking care of shooting a few pictures of the wedding, I wouldn’t have wanted to butt in their job and annoy them.

Then it was a great opportunity for Rose to shoot a bride and even if it was an older wedding (older wedding, happier wedding they say) without a big white dress, she was very excited and imagined she was the official photographer on duty.

Rose has been with us on many, many photoshoots, I couldn’t even start to count but never to a wedding we have covered.So we got a bit closer to the wedding and waited for the beach ceremony to finish.It was quite brief and soon the bride and her bridesmaids as well as the groom and his men of honor were rushed to the seafront to take a few group photos.

Well, after explaining to Rose where she could go and where she couldn’t (she was equipped with a D800 and a 85mm f1.4 which was plenty enough to shoot from the distance), I placed myself on a side with the beautiful pier in my framing.To me, I had the best spot, at least to catch a few smiles from the bridesmaids who were amused by my little girl buzzing around like a bee !

Finally these are the nice smiles I caught on camera during this brief glimpse at a wedding that wasn’t ours.By the way, Rose photos of the same event are on this post
